2022 Quintodecimo 'Terra D'Eclano' Irpinia Aglianico

"What an incredible nose of iodine, ink, explosive violets, crushed stones, stems, brambles, blackberries, oyster shell and cedar. Full body, incredibly grainy and dusty tannins, vibrant acidity and a fruit-forward but wonderfully minerally finish. So seamless yet dense at the same time. Refined and juicy. Need I say more? Delicious now but better later."

"The wisdom in the glass manifests itself in a pure celebration of beauty, with a blend of floral and fruity aromas that reveal a masterful extraction and the wisdom of taming the grape variety. The sensory orchestra opens with the tart sweetness of raspberries and currants, then slowly transitions to larger berries reminiscent of blackberries and blue plums. The irrepressible undercurrent of sweet power reveals itself with floral notes of lavender and violet, with a subtle touch of wild myrtle. Medium-full body, soft tannins, and a firm structure blend into a luminous and balanced finish, a pure expression of the varietal. A pure Aglianico."

"The 2021 Terra D'Eclano is remarkably expressive, with a vivid blend of wild strawberries, violets, lavender and hints of wet stone. It sweeps across the palate, wildly fresh and lifted with crisp wild berry fruits and perfumed inner florals. Tactile mineral tones form toward the close. The 2021 finishes long and staining yet energetic, with a gentle tug of fine tannins and a nuance of sour citrus. Wow."
